Ana tends to add an -a to certain verbs:
I pick-a up book!
No take-a nap! (When if it hadn't been one of those verbs, it would've not had an "a" in there)
You read-a da book.
It's not all verbs she does this with - she says she wants to turn off the light, not turna off, for example.
Does anybody have any idea why she might possibly be doing this? It's very confusing.

For example, for a while there I thought the -a took the place of a preposition, which seemed to fit, since it was either verb, one syllable preposition, rest of sentence - but then I heard "pick-a up". So that idea, already not that great (it irked me on a deep-down level) is shot.
